My son (Matthew) left our home 4/30/07 at 10:00am Without permission. He has run away 3-4 times in the past few weeks and has been reported as a run-away. He’s not real good at making friends so we have no clue where he might be. He also has no common sence or street smarts to help him get by.

Matthew is 16 and has been with us since he was 5 (adopted). Right now he’s an angry your man trying to figure out who he really is; my son or his fathers.

My son is also adopted, and struggling right now. He called us his “wannabe” parents. I replied that we are his parents and we love him, no matter how he feels.
This age is hard on all teens, especially those adopted. God will see him through it.
